Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know


When is the best time to climb Mount Kenya?

The driest windows are January to mid-March and July to October. These months give the clearest summit mornings and the most reliable trail conditions. We avoid the long rains (April–May) and short rains (November) for summit attempts.

Do I need technical climbing experience for Mount Kenya?

No. Point Lenana (4,985m), the trekking summit, is non-technical and reachable by any fit walker. Only Batian (5,199m) and Nelion (5,188m) require rock-climbing skills and gear. All our standard packages target Point Lenana.

Maasai Mara or Amboseli — which should I choose?

Choose the Mara for big cats, the Great Migration (July–October) and the widest variety of game. Choose Amboseli for elephants against the Kilimanjaro backdrop and a more compact, photogenic park. Short on time? Our Mara & Amboseli 5-Day combo does both.

Can I combine a safari with Diani beach?

Yes — it's our most popular trip style. Our 7-Day Mara + Diani and 6-Day Amboseli + Diani packages pair a wildlife safari with a few days on Diani's white sand, connected by internal flights so you never lose a day.

Are your trips private or group departures?

Every Velvet Wild trip is private and tailored to your group — your own vehicle, your own guide, your own dates. We don't mix strangers into your safari. Group departures can be arranged on request.

What is included in the USD prices shown?

Each package page lists exactly what is included and excluded. As a rule, our prices cover park fees, accommodation, meals on safari, a professional driver-guide, all game drives and transfers. International flights, travel insurance, tips and some drinks are excluded.

How do I book and pay?
